Roast St Kilda in no mans land

[Kobe Gryant]

I think you would have a few more dollars seeing how the past decade has gone and the optimism shown by supporters.

Make sure to buy yourself a good pillow with that money!

I'm pretty young though, I can't really claim the other 40-odd years as my own.

The expert-with-hindsight phenomenon is fascinating.

No doubt many (possibly most) clubs would have made the same call (drafting Billings). And no one was jumping up and down at the time about what an outrageous selection he was at 3.

Sometimes the right call at the time simply doesn’t work out - half of everything is luck.

The notion that someone can be the correct pick at the time but not correct long term will always be a hard one for Bigfooty to grasp.

Every club has made a call like that in their history and will make more of them in their future. That's just how the draft works.

So they had a better recruiting team and done their research. Got it.

You really are one of the worst examples of those ****wits with an unjustified superiority complex because you happened to pick a successful club to barrack for.

Oh dude

Why are you still in this thread when your trust fund baby team just made another grand final?

At times through out the year Billings was thought to be the the number one pick on draft boards and compared to playing like Dusty

I’ll give you a couple of bucks young fella.

Odd comment on multiple fronts.

A question about who else to take results in the obvious answer of Bontempelli. A player BF scribe Knightmare ranked inside top 10.

Not sure how stating that another club may have done more research on him has anything to do with my club, nor how being successful is relevant when they were quite a few years of membership before we became successful.

But you do you.

Funniest is when it's also someone that was too scared to ever even have a crack at playing game themselves.

Loser who sleeps with the lights on no doubt.

always amuses me that Billings and Saints get canned over Bont, yet Cripps went at 13 and never a peep at the other clubs who didn't draft him.

So many misses in that 1st round

Not having a crack it's all hindsight but geezus imagine the Saints with the Bont and Petracca in the 22

Is this thread still going?

What are people bashing St Kilda for this week?

 

[wannabewinner]

Like I said, who would you have taken at the time, without hindsight? Don't give me the Bont nonsense, only the Dogs and Essendon had him rated near the top three.

Pretty sure Pies had him pegged for pick 5. Enough news articles saying so as well.
